The combination of no hitting and no pitching doesn't seem to be working for our Buccos. In an actual baseball-oriented organization, heads would roll. But for the Pirates, it's just another day in paradise.

What a start for Endy, and Peguero. Endy now with 6 strikeouts in 7 at bats.

Peguero should still be in AAA. Maybe even Endy. These guys do look over matched, right now.

Here is my over the top conspiracy theory. Bring up these kids and let them struggle, so our 'management' team no longer have to answer questions about being competitive this year, or our substandard hitting coach/manager.

I would not put it past them to deflect from taking responsibility.

they might be over matched but it is also possible they are trying to hard. Most of us fans have high expectations for Davis, Gonzales and Endy and many tend to get down on them if they don't hit the ground running.

What a fan base. "Bring the young guys up! They need to play!" Also the fan base," They brought them up too soon!"
